I’m new to Keto & have been collecting recipes & info. I thought bananas were not part of Keto?
Hi Emily. You're right, bananas are not keto-friendly.
However, we only use 1 banana for the entire banana bread loaf which makes the total net carbs very low.
Each slice of banana bread only contains 1.9 grams of net carbs, so you can enjoy it while following keto. Hope that helps! 🙂
Love all your recipes.thank you ?
Thanks Patricia, glad you are enjoying them 🙂
Can you substitute stevia for the erythritol?
Hi Vivian, yes you can substitute stevia for the Erythritol. However, I would use liquid stevia as the granulated kind can cause problems when baking. As for the ratio, 1/2 cup powdered Erythritol would be 2 tsp of liquid stevia. Enjoy!
I’m new to Keto and following your 19 day plan. I thought we weren’t able to have actual bananas. I’ve seen other recipes just using the extract.
Bananas aren't usually allowed on keto, but because the recipe only uses 1 banana for the whole cake of 12 slices, the number of total carbs in low.
Delicious! One of the first keto baked goods I’ve made that doesn’t taste keto! Moist and yummy with subtle banana flavor. I did substitute flax for physilium husks.
Yum! Thanks Cari 🙂
Beautifully moist and delicate. Thank you for this recipe.
This was very good but surprised that bananas are allowed.
Also a question, I have a erythritol/ monk fruit blend. Is this okay to use?
Hi Libby! Yes, bananas aren't usually allowed on keto, but because the recipe only uses 1 banana for the whole cake of 12 slices, the number of total carbs in low. And yes, you can use an Erythritol/Monk Fruit blend as it's completely sugar-free 🙂
Can l substitute coconut flour as l found too much almond flour actually stops my ketosis. If so how much. Thanks for the ratios of stevia to erythritol. Could l bulk it out with more flax seed instead of psyllium husks as they tend to give me stomach cramps.
Yes, you can substitute the 3/4 cup of almond flour for around 21 grams of coconut flour. The ratio is 1/4 cup of coconut flour for every 1 cup of almond flour. I hope that helps.
Can I substitute Xylitol for the sweetener?
Yes! Any sugar-free sweetener will work fine - Xylitol, stevia, monk fruit etc.
